Hi
I've incorporated Q&D into my workouts and do it roughly thrice a week. Currently I have access to a bell that is one bell lighter than what Q&D book would suggest as the ideal weight (using a 24kg but 28kg is the right size for my work). So I have modified the workouts by increasing the reps, i.e. rather than 100, I've increased the max to 160 and rather than 40 being the lowest I have increased it to 80. If you ask me why, I just feel 80 reps is what feels like a good light workout and 160 reps is pretty much close to when I start losing power (200 reps is when I think I would lose power using the 24kg bell).
Does this modification impact the outcomes of the program or result in a different outcome?
There are many other threads on Q&D but I did not want to muddle it with this thinking and if this question has already been discussed, I request the moderator to close the post.
PS - searching about this topic on the forum did not result answers that I was looking for (or my search parameters were off to get the to the right thread)
